2. Overview
2.1 Introduction
Scalers work to convert and scale a type of video/audio signal to another type
of video/audio signal. This enables you to use differently formatted video/audio
signals on differently formatted display screens. Scaling allows for changing
resolutions to increase quality or improve compatibility.
The SDI to HDMI Scaler and Converter (AVSC-SDI-HDMI) converts digital 3D/
HD/SD-SDI to HDMI digital video with analog stereo audio. With this module,
3G/HD/SD-SDI based devices such as Blu-ray disc players, PS3, DVD players,
camcorders, or set-top boxes can connect to your PC LCD and PC speakers. The
conversion between SDI and HDMI is pure digital and guarantees no loss trans-
formation for both audio and video. Plus, with up to 8 channels audio support,
7.1 channel or 5.1 channel audio becomes available. The scaler also provides two
low-jitter and reclocked outputs for daisychain or multiple monitors.
